Brick attack on woman: Sacked Delhi Police constable gets bail

New Delhi: A court here on Saturday granted bail to a sacked Delhi Police head constable, who was caught on camera hitting a woman with a brick after allegedly demanding bribe, saying there were counter versions of the incident and no evidence to substantiate the woman's bribe charge.

"There being two counter versions of the incident and there being no clear demand of bribe. I am of the opinion that the accused is entitled to get bail. Hence, the bail is granted," Special Judge Narottam Kaushal said.

Earlier, on May 12, the court had remanded sacked head constable Satish Chand to 14 days in judicial custody. He was initially suspended on May 11 after the incident but later on dismissed from service with immediate effect as the incident triggered widespread outrage.

Chand was arrested after a criminal case was filed against him when a video clip of his allegedly attacking a young woman with two children with a brick at Golf Links in Central Delhi area went viral.
